Question

Assertion (A): Gandhi stopped the Non-cooperation Movement in 1922. Reason (R): Violence at Chauri-Chaura led him to stop the movement.

Accepted Answer

The correct option is A because both statements are historically accurate and directly linked. Mahatma Gandhi launched the Non cooperation Movement based on the principle of non violence. However, on February 5, 1922, a violent incident occurred at Chauri Chaura in Uttar Pradesh, where a mob set fire to a police station, killing 22 policemen. Disturbed by this shift toward violence and believing the country was not yet ready for a non violent struggle, Gandhi decided to withdraw the movement immediately. Therefore, the violence at Chauri Chaura was the specific reason that led to the cessation of the movement in 1922.
